  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    what goes into a man's mouth does not make him unclean, but what comes out of his mouth that is what makes him unclean.

    MJ Only Leviticus

    I think Acts 9 answers that when Peter has a vision about a sheet filled with animals coming from heaven and commanded to eat from it, and when he says he cant eat anything unpure or unclean and the voice says do not call impure anything God has made clean. Just as in Hebrews Christ is declared...

    Donald Trump Needs to Stop Inciting Violence

    hola. Oderint dum metuant is what Trump and others like him foster. Instead of reassuring and calming he is content to incite and provoke, to divide and conquer and let the people hate so long as they fear. Fear divides and allows inferiors to dominate and subject others. 1 John 4.18 There...

    Christians in politics

    “If any earthly institution or custom conflicts with God’s will, it is your Christian duty to oppose it. You must never allow the transitory, evanescent demands of man-made institutions to take precedence over the eternal demands of the Almighty God.”

    It's a Big Book, Sooo Where Do I Begin?

    hola. Hope you are well. There is a truism about the Bible I thought before I read it myself and then someone expressed it better even than me. That truism is that, "the Bible does not lend itself to understanding those who refuse its mastery over them". So what I mean is that to understand...
